Fetterangus New Build Mastic
We cover Fetterangus for plot mastic for developers and snagging failed sealant in new homes. Old material cut out, joints cleaned and sealed neatly and every job guaranteed for a year.
- Messy sealant that spoils new finishes
- Frame joints opening as the plaster dries
- Cracked caulk along new skirting
Why act early in Fetterangus
A quick bead over the top of the old sealant can look fine at first, but it won’t bond to the old layer. Taking it all out and starting again is the only way to get a lasting seal. Exposed walls in smaller Scottish places take a lot of wind and rain, and damp in stone or harled walls takes a long time to dry once water gets behind a joint.
The cost reflects the work involved, not a rough estimate. That’s why we ask a few questions first and agree the price before starting.
What you get with us
- Neat joints and a tidy finish
- Colour picked to suit the job
- Old sealant always removed completely
- We agree the colour with you first

New build mastic for homes and businesses in Fetterangus
Failed shower seals, gaps along the skirting and messy beads are common items on a new-home snagging list. If you are still within the builder’s snagging or warranty period, tell them first. We work on bathrooms & en suites, show homes and windows & doors, and people most often call us about internal frame sealant that has split and cracked caulk along new skirting.
For a place like Fetterangus, the journey and access are planned in advance. Inside work goes ahead in any weather; outside mastic needs a dry day.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

What else we do in Fetterangus
Should I try it myself first?
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
How the visit works
There’s no need to move everything out, only the area right around the joints. Everything nearby is protected, and the job takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots in most cases. Around Fetterangus, distance and access matter more than parking. Tell us how to find the property and how to reach the work.
- First we work through your snagging list or plot schedule with you.
- The old bead comes out in full, with no layer left behind.
- We clean off dust from the build and prime the surfaces where the product needs it.
- We apply a sealant that suits each joint and tool it to a neat finish.
- Each area is checked and left with its cure time.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints

Surface by surface
Skirting and floors
Where the floor meets a bath panel or kitchen plinth, the joint keeps mop water out. They get a flexible, water-resistant sealant.
Bathrooms and en suites
New-build bathrooms and en suites are where sealant fails most often. We cut out the failed bead, clean and prime, and reseal with anti-fungal sanitary silicone.

Questions from Fetterangus
Is there a guarantee on new build mastic in Fetterangus?
All our work, in Fetterangus and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We are fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Can you do new build mastic in Fetterangus?
Yes, Fetterangus is within the area we cover. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and let us know what needs doing.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We are approved under the ARBOMaster scheme, the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants.
Is it worth resealing while the house is still settling?
Any seal that’s leaking should be redone right away. Cosmetic gaps can wait until the first year or two of movement has passed.
Why does sealant fail so quickly in new builds?
Cracking in the first couple of years is common. Poor preparation at handover adds to it.
What colour sealant will you use?
Most bathroom joints are white or clear, but other colours are available. We choose one to suit the room before we begin.
What do you put in the joint?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference, and we will tell you what we’re using.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the product. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all, and any smell fades as they cure.

How to look after the new joints
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Avoid running a DIY bead over the old one
- Look at the sealant regularly in the first couple of years
- Keep water off fresh sealant until it has cured
- Open a window or run the fan after bathing
Keep an eye on the joints over the first couple of years. Small gaps can appear as the house dries, and they’re simple to reseal once movement has slowed.
A failed seal in a new home lets water into joists, plasterboard and ceilings. Early resealing keeps the job small.
